Dark, intense and full-flavoured, it is our tribute to the Vikings and their cultural legacy in Orkney. The first thing to touch the islands would have been their long ship's Dragonhead.
Dragonhead is brimming over with rich roast malt and roast barley flavours. Aromas of bitter chocolate, roast coffee and spicy dark fruits are complemented by a complex, bitter blend of hop varieties.
Hops: Challenger, East Kent Goldings
Malts: Pale, Crystal, Chocolate, Malted Wheat, Black, Roasted Barley

0,5L bottle, BB 01.2016. Pours black with tan head. The head stays for some time. Aroma is roast, dark chocolate and creamy notes. Taste is roast, smoke, slight fruits and some sour notes. Finish is mild roast bitter. Overall: nice for a low ABV brew.

Bottle at home. It pours black with a small tan head. The nose is roasted malt, cocoa, coffee, aniseed and salted caramel. The taste is bitter, roasty, liquorice, caramel, toasty, coffee and some peppery spice with a dry, bitter finish. Light-medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Decent, quaffable stout all accords.

Quite dark brown, with a light roastiness on the nose. Sweet, light roast, little bit of cask tartness, and finishes with light nuttiness.

500ml bottle at home. Dark brown pour, thick dark brown head which goes very quickly. Aromas of dark chocolate and ash. Taste has more chocolate and coffee bitterness. Rich mouthfeel for the strength. Not bad.
